Shit Hits The Fan

Shit Hits The Fan is a punk rock band from Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. Highly influenced by the 80’s and 90’s punk rock waves from Southern-California, the band was founded in early 2012 and is going straight ahead ever since. After playing dozens of shows all across The Netherlands, Shit Hits The Fan released their first full-length “The First And Worst Record” in September 2013 on Morning Wood Records. The album was well-received and gained generally positive reviews. Shortly after bringing out the album Willem van der Ende took the position of lead singer and took the band to the next level.

Nearly two months after Willem joined the band, they recorded and released the single “Disconnected”. The song was featured on various compilation albums and gained airplay on several underground radio stations. The band is currently recording songs for an upcoming EP, which is planned to be released later this year.

Shit Hits The Fan’s straightforward, melodic punk rock often gets compared with bands such as Pennywise, The Offspring and Good Riddance. Their lyrical themes usually cover relevant social, political and environmental problems but also deal about personal struggle and alienation. After almost 50 shows the band is ready go abroad and travel to all the countries who could use an energetic punk rock show.

The band changed their name to Smashed Out in 2016/2017.
